The Story

Custom Shop Size 5 Flamed Mahogany 12-String Acoustic Guitar Gloss Aged Toner

Martin's Custom Shop creates some of the world's best acoustic guitars, and this custom Size 5 is no exception! A classic from the early 20th century, the Size 5 was the ideal parlor guitar for players of smaller stature. This custom us a 12-string model that features an Engelmann Spruce top with eye-catching flame mahogany for the back and sides, which makes a construction for warmth that belies its small-bodied construction. The delicate top bracing allows the top to vibrate freely, giving a blooming projection that simply has to be heard to be believed. The aged gloss toner top finish contrasts beautifully with the simple Style 18 Abalone rosette. The Black Ebony fingerboard and bridge complete the visual package on this one-of-a-kind Martin.

Includes: Hardshell Case, Paperwork
